 Better than the others - for me August 25, 2009

For years I have used Generic cadd, now known as Visual cadd. I am learning LT 2010 and purchased Ellen Finkelstein's "Bible". That was a good book, but Omura's book is better for me. Here's why - the examples are consistent in that they give the user all the steps, and especially the shortcuts for all the examples. The multiple ways to access a command are also covered consistently. With the "Bible", I found myself trying to figure out the shortcuts. Ellen teaches them to you somewhere in the text, but if you haven't read the whole book, you will have missed some things. I think George also has better tutorials - more concise and easier to follow.
The paper used for Mr. Omura's book is a step away from newsprint, but still acceptable. The "Bible's" layout and printing is very difficult to read. It almost looks like the printer saved on ink. I compared the 2009 "Bible" with this years version, and the 2009 was very readable.
I also purchased AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial - First Level: 2D Fundamentals by Randy Shih. That one didn't do anything for me and I sent it back.
The Best By Far October 4, 2009

This book is very useful to the beginner in autocad and as you become more advance this book will
become more and more useful, So the more advance you become the more useful the book becomes.
The book is well organized, easy to follow and understand.
You will get very comprehensive guide with the exercises available to each chapter.
I can say this book possibly is the best teacher I will ever have.
There are a number of books on the market surveying AutoCad, but this is one of the best September 17, 2009

There are a number of books on the market surveying AutoCad, but this is one of the best - a virtual 'bible' of detail packing in tips on using everything from hatches and tables to linking drawings to databases, presenting 3D models with x-ray views, importing PDF documents as drawings, and much more. Newcomers will find the tutorials build skills while advanced users will appreciate the detailed surveys of the latest features of the program. An accompanying DVD packs in further project details and includes a trial version of AutoCad 2010 and a searchable PDF of the book.
Great reference February 12, 2010

This is a clear & comprehensive reference for AutoCAD 2010. I found it easy to read and follow. Recently it was very helpful when I needed guidance for program customization. Highly recommended as an excellent reference - beginners might be better off with a another more simple tutorial such as AutoCAD 2010 for Dummies.
Good Book! April 29, 2010

If you are brand new to AutoCAD, this book may be a bit difficult to understand. The author describes some of the more complicated commands before you really get a grasp of the program. If you have used AutoCAD before, this is an excellent reference with a lot of great information. The book does come with a 30 day trial version of AutoCAD 2010. I'm not saying don't buy the book if your new, it might just take a little while to grasp some of the concepts. I bought the book, since AutoCAD started using the ribbon. So far, I am very happy.
